Stray Bullet Enters High School's New Chapel in Detroit with Students Inside



Detroit police are investigating after a bullet came through a window at the chapel at Loyola High School on April 7th in the morning. According to police, about 40 students were inside the chapel on the north side of the building when a bullet came through the window around 7:50 a.m.

The school's principal wrote to the parents: 

Dear Parents and Guardians,
This morning, a bullet penetrated the wall of our school chapel shortly before our regularly scheduled morning prayer. We are deeply grateful to report that no one was injured.
As a precaution, all students are currently being held safely in the gym. For everyone’s safety, while the investigation is ongoing, students will be permitted to leave with a parent or guardian, students who drove will only be released with parental consent, and no student will be allowed to walk home.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will keep you informed with any updates as they become available.Please join us in prayer for the continued safety of our entire school community.
Dr. Richardson-Phillips, President
